Indeed, the code doesn't make sense. I have to say I don't know what was
the intent here, but I think "at least 3 buffers should be allocated by
REQBUFS" is the likely explanation.
I think the hardware should work with even just a single buffer, so is
it then fine to not set either q->min_queued_buffers nor
q->min_reqbufs_allocation before calling vb2_queue_init()? This seems to
result in REQBUFS giving at least two buffers.
